ABSTRACT:
Note:This case has a Case B which is in the Teaching Note document uploaded with the case to be used or shared with the class at the discretion of the teacher. It is September 2013. Mr Ali Akbar Bosan (Chief Operating Officer of Pakistan Skills Development Fund) and his technical team are in the process of preparing the EOI for the soon to be launched Skills for Garments Scheme. A Skills Needs Assessment Workshop for the garment sector has recently been conducted. As expected, there is huge demand from the workshop’s participants to design trainings for market-driven skills which address human capital deficiencies in the apparel industry. Ten districts have been identified for training 30,000 individuals. Mr Bosan knows that the selection of the right training service providers (TSPs) would ensure the sustained economic viability of the trainees and address the scarcity of skilled labour for the garments sector in Punjab.
